LC 908 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise the Montana driver privacy protection act

This bill revises Montana's Driver Privacy Protection Act to strengthen privacy safeguards for personal information in motor vehicle records. It requires the Department of Justice to obtain express written consent from individuals before releasing their personal data to third parties and mandates the department maintain a list of all requesters. The legislation also allows individuals harmed by privacy violations to file individual or class action lawsuits seeking punitive damages, costs, and attorney fees. Additionally, it clarifies definitions of personal information and restricts the disclosure of sensitive data like social security numbers to specific authorized purposes such as tax administration and law enforcement.
